Getting down and dirty with your Event Design

Last week we looked at the steps to take when creating the design for events and we talked about creating a ‘collection‘ in the same way as a fashion designer does. One of the most asked questions when we talk to students about design is what the latest trends are, especially at the start of [...]

Take your Event Design Seriously

The course we get the most questions about at the UK Academy of Wedding and Event Planning is our Event Design Course. Many people struggle with the concept of event design and where it fits in within the overall scheme of things. It may seem quite straight forward, but you would be surprised just how [...]

Premiere Party Event Design

Many of you will by now have seen the first part of Breaking Dawn which is currently showing at cinemas, and I am sure we are going to be hearing more of our clients asking for a wedding design that replicates that of Bella and Edward. Well that is exactly what Chad Hudson Events did [...]

Second World War Inspired Wedding Mood Board

As we have recently celebrated Remembrance Day it got me thinking about weddings in wartime and what a different affair they were from our weddings of today.
